Short: Game engine for Another World
Author: Fabien Sanglard / Others
Uploader: trebs iinet net au (Michael Trebilcock)
Type: game/actio
Version: git
Replaces: game/actio/raw_os4.lha
Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.0
This is a reverse engineered game engine that allows you to play Another World
(aka Out Of This World) without emulation on multiple platforms via SDL.
You will need the DOS version of "Out Of This World" extracted into the same
directory as the executable.
AmigaOS4 port:
- Stability fix
- Additional keys
F12 = Toggle fullscreen
LShift = Run / Shoot
ESC = Quit game
Check the original readme below for other controls.
Known issues:
- After using an Alt+ combination, the engine may act as if the Alt key
is still held down. Press Alt+Ctrl or LAlt+RAlt afterwards to fix this.
Alternatively, release Alt the instant the other key is pressed.
- You might not be able to jump while running if you use Space to run. Use
the LShift or Enter key to run, instead.
- Increasing the window size via the hotkeys might cause a DSI.

=== Original README follows ===
This is "Fabother World": an Another World (Out Of This World in North America)
interpreter codebase. This work is based on:
- Piotr Padkowski's newRaw interpreter which was based on
- Gregory Montoir's reverse engineering of
- Eric Chahi's assembly code.
I cleaned up a lot of the code, removing cryptic hexadecimal notation
with meaningful macros name. I also cleanup a lot of the code so it has a
C/C++ philosophy instead of an assembly structure.
I also created a Visual Studio 2010 project.
TODO:
Create a MacOS X project.
Add a different rendering path OpenGL support.

Please be aware that, currently, this implementation may contains bugs and
non-implemented features that make it impossible to finish the game.
